Transportation Simulation Using The High Level Architecture

摘要

The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a Department of Defense effort directed at the premise that an individualrnsimulation or set of simulations developed for one purpose can be combined in another application under the HLArnconcept of federation. Though the HLA originates from military applications, the architecture appears suited forrncivilian applications as well. The ability to couple geographically, organizationally, or otherwise distributedrnsimulations, is of special interest for traffic applications. The objective of this paper is to address the specificrnquestions of making existing traffic simulations HLA compliant, evaluating HLA support software, and evaluatingrnmethods developed to test for HLA compliance.
